Soldier and aspiring musician Hampton Weems comes home from Afghanistan to find the South Side of Chicago is also occupied territory – and he’s accidentally joined the resistance. Featuring songs by Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Nightwatchman, Street Sweeper Social Club), Revolution(s) is a punk/metal/hip-hop musical about a young artist finding his voice, why violence is as American as cherry pie, and how young radicals, across generations, are still motivated by love.
Revolution(s) is a Goodman Theatre commission.
Recommended for ages 14 and up; Contains adult language, sexual references, drug references, themes of racial discrimination, incarceration, mental illness, death, grief and descriptions of physical violence, warfare and gun violence (including gunshot sound effects).
